Liverpool remain on course to send Jurgen Klopp off as a Premier League winner after Chelsea were thrashed 4-1 at Anfield on Wednesday. Conor Bradley was the star of the show as the 20-year-old right-back scored and teed up goals for Diogo Jota and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Christopher Nkunku reduced Chelsea's arrears, but Luis Diaz rounded off the scoring and a thrilling Liverpool performance. Bradley has been a revelation since a knee injury to Alexander-Arnold opened his path to the first team.
"What a wonderful kid he is. Outstanding finish, the whole game, the contribution, the involvement," said Klopp of Bradley. "I'm really happy for him. He's a very serious young man and that was pretty special I have to say."
